Gannon12 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 This is the best offseason so far in sooooooo long I love what the new front office is doing. Excellent signing in an area of extreme need. Maybe we won’t have to suffer multiple fumbles a game now by our rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowell, Williams, Nelson, Burfict, Marshall, and Joyner are all 26-29 and have played at a high level in the past. Hopefully we can catch lightning in a bottle this year and compete for a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for fun and celebrations but there is still a certain level of professionalism. He has shown some poor judgement thats all. I just don't think that warrants the ahole title, that's all. I've done a few things in my life that I look back on and say, " man, bad call. The emotions got the best of me in the moment but not an excuse." I think an ahole is someone that continues to hurt people and be selfish and not be accountable. I don't see that pattern with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Mayock's philosophy on how to build a long term winning team is right on par with what I would have done if I were a GM. These moves are all Mayock and I applaud him for the job he has done so far but his work is not done, now it is time to nail the draft. I would not jump the gun and throw the word playoffs around, we still have a long way to go as we have zero pass rush still which is a killer to a team defense. As our team stands right now if we could be 8-8 that would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding also Glennon, Lawson and Mauro to the guys you mentioned, all of them are on 1 years prove it deals or deals we can get out of easily before we head to Vegas. Only the Browns (Trent and AB) are here for sure in 2020. This team either puts up or looks very different going into Vegas. The plan is obviously to compete as much as possible but still build thru the draft so the success can be sustainable. Best case scenario is all the signings ball out and we make a run this year closing out our time in Oakland and we have the luxury of either resigning guys to come to the new digs or we can get into comp pick territory. It's something I don't want to think about much but that goes for Carr too. We can cut him next offseason and save 16mil in cap but this aspect should go in the Carr thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as what? There isn't much left in FA and who know's what edge rushers will be there when we pick and who knows if the ones we do select will be good players of busts. We have a lot of draft capital but will be putting a lot on these rookies to step in right away and be major contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosa, Allen, Sweat, Burns, Ferrell, Polite, and Winovich in the 2nd. We could cone away with two of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see who we draft but I will say that if we can draft (realistically bc I think Bosa will be gone) Allen at 4 and Ferrell at 24 I would be ver pleased.

Those are the kind of guys you expect to be getting a good number of snaps if not starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of busts who have looked good in college so thinking that the 4 players we select will be annual pro bowlers is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with both of you, but Mayock has instilled a lot of confidence in his decision making and ability to fill roster holes early on. This all while being a "green draft guru". The draft is one of the last things im worried about screwing up at this point. Probably blind faith but I imagine we'll get a number of big contributors this draft.
